Technology Solution Statement:

The number one pain in the U.S. Air Force is low aircraft availability rates across the enterprise. The main reason for low availability is the shortage of crucial parts. Since budgets are always limited, intelligent acquisition is necessary. To make intelligent decisions, they must be based on accurate and timely information. MDDV (with its unique capabilities) enables the automatic, accurate gathering of detailed, granular information on crucial parts using its LOG, BOM Wizard™, and Serial Number Wizard.

Benefits Statement:

MDDV is the certified execution layer. It is a Class 6 IETM approved for direct task execution, meaning maintainers are actually doing the work inside MDDV—not referencing it on the side. It enforces TO compliance, correct sequencing, and all warnings and cautions, and it becomes the system of record while maintenance is being performed.

Naval Systems, Inc. (NSI) was founded in 2004 as an technical services company with the Navy’s Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) as its primary customer.  Since then, NSI has grown to over 300 employees and some 200 subcontractors, with its headquarters near NAS Patuxent River, MD, and personnel and satellite offices located across the U.S. and overseas.  NSI supports USN, USMC, USAF, and US Army programs and associated Department of Defense (DoD) agencies responsible for delivering and sustaining advanced defense systems across warfighting domains.

Problem Statement:

• The current Navy-maintained Aerial Refueling Stores (ARS) are over 20 years old and many components are no longer manufactured.
• Corrosion on mission-critical assets often remains undetected until severe damage occurs.
• Traditional inspections lack continuous, actionable data, hindering maintenance prioritization.
• This gap increases unexpected downtime, repair costs, and reduces overall readiness.

Continuous Sustainment Intelligence (CSI) is a closed-loop sustainment intelligence architecture that integrates structured operational and depot data, continuous engineering analysis across the six analytically intensive ILS disciplines, and scoped analytical capabilities including AI, machine learning, and digital twin applications. CSI converts aviation operational data into integrated engineering intelligence and field-actionable guidance, delivered to maintainers and depot engineers on operational timescales rather than as periodic studies.

Benefits Statement:

For the U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center and similar aviation sustainment enterprises, CSI delivers: (1) reduction of the 20–40% reactive sustainment cost burden through earlier failure prediction and integrated change impact analysis; (2) higher mission availability through predictive maintenance grounded in actual fleet operating conditions rather than design-stage assumptions; (3) faster, more defensible configuration change decisions across the full ILS spectrum; (4) more accurate provisioning and supply chain decisions across inventories at the scale of the $1.5B+ ALC parts inventory; (5) force-multiplier effect on existing engineering staff; (6) compatibility with existing ALC information systems and standard DoW and DHS data architectures; (7) institutional knowledge transfer through an integrated operator and engineer training curriculum. The architecture serves both manned and unmanned Coast Guard aviation portfolios.

Technology Solution Statement:

VSMPS with Oxifree is a thermoplastic encapsulation system that seals a component in a single application. A solid, organic resin is melted in our portable unit and applied through a heated gun, flowing around complex geometry to form a pliable barrier loaded with corrosion-inhibiting oils. It eliminates moisture, blocks salt, and dust ingress and protects against galvanic pitting and atmospheric corrosion for up to 10 years. The coating needs minimal surface prep, applies in humid conditions, and requires no shutdown or curing oven. The coating peels away for inspection or NDT and then reapplies, and excess material is remelted and reused, so waste is virtually eliminated.

Benefits Statement:

Extends the storage and service life of spare components and airfield assets, cutting scrap, reorders, and AOG risk.

• Up to 10 years of protection from a single application lowers lifecycle cost and frees maintenance labor.
• Removable and reusable: parts can be inspected or NDT'd, then re-encapsulated, and material is remelted and reused so waste is near zero.
• Fast and low prep: minutes per connection, no shutdown, and application in humid coastal conditions.
